Firefox

Same, desktop and mobile.

Also DuckDuckGo browser on mobile because it opens a tab in that automatically when I do a search from the home screen search bar on my Pixel phone. But I never log in to any services on that browser. Treating it as a perpetual incognito browser.

Zen Browser. At this point I'm using it almost exclusively for the glance feature, which loads a page in an overlay above the current tab.
This is incredibly useful in webmail for short-term page visits, like email verification links, etc.

I'm thinking about trying zen again in the near future. At the time it seemed a little "too innovative" for me, but idk. I've been brower hopping a bit, because sometimes thing don't work of Brave because of how much stuff I have it set up to block

Brave. I know some people don't like it because of all the crypto nonsense, but I've never enabled any of that.

I really like it it's built in ad and content blockers. Kinda random, but I love that you can block YouTube shorts. Idk, I just don't like YouTube shorts or other short form videos like tik tok or Instagram

I tried Librewolf but found the restrictions for my own privacy too annoying as it constantly broke stuff and gave me extra work so I went back to Firefox and customized the privacy settings. I know I could've done that with Librewolf too but I found it more annoying to work with unfortunately x_x
And I have Ungoogled Chrome as my backup

Firefox on desktop as I haven't taken the time to migrate to a fork like Librewolf. Ironfox on mobile.

uBlock Origin on both, Rethink DNS on mobile as a local VPN style ad blocker across all apps.

LibreWolf on PC. Like Firefox but with stronger protections and I love it. I used Firefox for years, but growing concerns over AI integration and Mozilla made me try it, and I'm not going back.

IronFox on Android. Works great, has good privacy controls like LibreWolf does, and websites work. I used to use Cromite, but switched due to ethical concerns over chromium and the fact that many websites were broken on that browser, even after enabling JavaScript and cookies. I was basically locked out of my college Microslop account because login was broken until I switched. Also, go to hell Microslop.

Edit: Also Tor Browser on both PC and mobile. I hate using it on websites with ads though (like seriously, how can anyone without a blocker handle such a bombardment day to day?), so I often use LibreWolf or IronFox instead.

People specifying mobile browsers should specify operating system along side them, essentially all iOS browsers use the WebKit engine.

Ooo... Another Iceraven user!

Once Kiwi stopped getting updates, that was the next best thing I found. Fennec was a close second.

Desktop: Waterfox, Ungoogled Chromium

Mobile: Ironfox

On the desktop, I moved from vanilla (but hardened) Firefox to Librewolf to Floorp and then to Waterfox. Ungoogled Chromium is for the times some stubborn website refuses to work with Firefox (and its forks). For mobile, I only have Ironfox and if websites don't work there, I just get my ass to the desktop.

Same, where it's available.

On my phone it's Waterfox, on my iPad, Firefox. And have FF sync active on all of them.

I love Librewolf and wish it was also on Android.

floorp on desktop. The developers are a team of Japanese students and it works well enough. I've had weird right click behavior after some of their many updates but it syncs with mozilla just fine.
